Here come the Strictly Come Dancing line-up announcements

Strictly Come Dancing‘s line-up is being drip-fed which means it’s essentially Christmas so happy Christmas!!

The usual checklist is already been ticked off: we’ve got an EastEnder, a sportsman, and – in keeping with The Way Things Are Now – a social media star.

On the bill so far:

  • David James off the football
  • Chris Ramsey, comedian
  • Emma Barton off EastEnders
  • Saffron Barker, and I don’t mean to join the sour-faced “WHO??” crew but she DOESN’T EVEN HAVE A WIKIPEDIA PAGE, seems nice though
  • Catherine Tyldesley off Corrie
  • Mike Bushell, the sports guy off BBC Breakfast

More, you would assume, to follow.
